Sleepypete Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I've recently bought a matched pair of 1Gb Corsair XMS3200 CL2 Platinum (2x1Gb) memory. On putting both into the machine and turning on, I get fans turning but nothing more ... On taking one out : Machine boots to Bios (not tried further yet) On moving the working one to the slot where the bad one was : Machine boots to Bios On putting the bad one back in again : Fans turning only On putting the bad one in other memory slots : Fans turning only One of the first things I tried (before taking memory out) was to reset the Bios, so I'm fairly confident that it isn't a rogue over aggressive Bios setting. Think one half of my matched pair is rogue :sigh!: . Have I got a warranty case ? If so, should I use the Corsair RMA forms ? I'd like to use my shiny new machine :laughing: so I'm not too keen on sending the working module back, hence why I don't really want to contact the retailer. Is it possible to just send the failed module ? (This looks like the exact same problem as Blacklabelz! A scary period of a monitor with the standby light flashing, fans whirring but nothing more) Thanks for any help :): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 20, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 20, 2006 Your PSU is not big enough for the Config you gave! I would suggest testing the modules in another MB to be sure. Please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace them or it.

Sleepypete Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 <big grin> It's a Seasonic 350 ... They reckon it'll outpower an Antec 550W due to sheer efficiency and I'm inclined to believe them :biggrin: . I've had one going in my old machine (XP2400+, Radeon 9700Pro, 2hds, 2dvds) and it cured stability problems I had with a 550W supply. That old machine will be my test bed for the suspect module, I will see what it does in there before going through the RMA procedure. Cheers for the reply ! :sunglasse (extra) If that psu doesn't turn out to be beefy enough, I can see my shiny new Arctic Cooling box being consigned to carry my old bits, while the less shiny old one gets the new bits and the bigger psu ;-).
